Bubonic Plague in the Modern World
7. Diagnosis
Doctors investigate a diagnosis of bubonic plague when painful, swollen lymph nodes develop rapidly, especially in people who live in or have traveled to the western U.S. or any other area where plague is common. A known flea bite may help confirm the diagnosis. In many cases, septicemic and pneumonic plague do not have obvious signs.
